How old where you when you played your first video game and what was it?
I think I was about 4 and I think it was either Mario or some Spectrum game.

Not sure how old I was, or what -game- it was, but I had a coleco (sp?) with a bunch of games. It was one of those ones that had different inserts for the game-pad depending on what game you were playing. Huge-time fun when I was really young.

I couldn't have been more than three. My parents had a TI-44 and some games, and I used to play that. I don't know what I played first. My grandparents (both sides) had Ataris, so I'd play that whenever I'd visit them.

Got an NES almost right after it came out. Haven't looked back.
